Resumo: | Lately, regardless of considerable progress in the elimination of malaria, this disease remains a major public health problem in tropical regions, prevailing in countries with weak health systems. Increased investment in recent decades resulted in the development of new tools and solutions for the control of the parasitic disease with the greatest impact on humanity. The Centre for Global Health and Tropical Medicine hosted a scientific meeting on current challenges and innovative tools in the context of malaria elimination. From the beginning, the organizing committee, with a multidisciplinary composition, had as main purposes to discuss the current approaches to study the malaria transmission and to identify new tools to measure the transmission in different malaria contexts, including pre-elimination scenarios. In this paper we present a synthesis of the two days of the workshop, of its participants and main contents. In addition, we sought to reflect on the multidisciplinary nature of presentations and discussions, and the importance of working together to achieve the goal of eliminating malaria. |

O aumento do investimento nas últimas décadas resultou no desenvolvimento de novas ferramentas e soluções no controlo da doença parasitária de maior impacto na humanidade. O Centro de Saúde Global e Medicina Tropical organizou um encontro científico sobre os atuais desafios e as ferramentas inovadoras no contexto de eliminação de malária. Desde o início que a comissão organizadora, com uma composição multidisciplinar, teve como propósitos principais discutir as abordagens atuais para estudar a transmissão da malária e identificar novas ferramentas para medir a transmissão em diferentes contextos de malária, incluindo cenários de pré-eliminação. Neste artigo apresentamos uma síntese dos dois dias do workshop, dos seus intervenientes e principais conteúdos. Adicionalmente, procuramos refletir acerca da natureza multidisciplinar das apresentações e discussões, e a importância do trabalho conjunto para se alcançar o desiderato da eliminação da malária.Universidade Nova de Lisboa2018-04-27T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.26oai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/26Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; Vol 16 (2017): 4.º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical; 41-44Anais do Instituto de Higiene e Medicina Tropical; v. 16 (2017): 4.º Congresso Nacional de Medicina Tropical; 41-442184-23100303-7762reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttp://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/26https://doi.org/10.25761/anaisihmt.26http://anaisihmt.com/index.php/ihmt/article/view/26/20Craveiro, IsabelGonçalves, LuziaVaranda, JorgeSalgueiro, Patríciainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-09-23T15:30:15Zoai:ojs.anaisihmt.com:article/26Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:03:50.365523Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Lately, regardless of considerable progress in the elimination of malaria, this disease remains a major public health problem in tropical regions, prevailing in countries with weak health systems. Increased investment in recent decades resulted in the development of new tools and solutions for the control of the parasitic disease with the greatest impact on humanity. The Centre for Global Health and Tropical Medicine hosted a scientific meeting on current challenges and innovative tools in the context of malaria elimination. From the beginning, the organizing committee, with a multidisciplinary composition, had as main purposes to discuss the current approaches to study the malaria transmission and to identify new tools to measure the transmission in different malaria contexts, including pre-elimination scenarios. In this paper we present a synthesis of the two days of the workshop, of its participants and main contents. In addition, we sought to reflect on the multidisciplinary nature of presentations and discussions, and the importance of working together to achieve the goal of eliminating malaria. |
